Welcome

The Melbourne Therapy Centre, founded in 1986 from an inspiration of 2 cancer patients, Maxine Hewit and Anne Hapke, along with AHP’s and medical doctors who believed that disease affected more than the physical body and that therapies which addressed a patient’s mind and spirit were necessary for healing.

One such approach is termed Anthroposophic Medicine, based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner (phD) along with Dr Ita Wegman (MD).

Steiner also gave us Biodynamic agriculture, Waldorf schools and specific therapies for patients.

The anthroposophic medical approach is designed to complement conventional medicine.

The Centre’s Doctors medical practitioners are fully registered GP’s who have training in Integrative and Anthroposophic Medicine in addition to their conventional practices.

Our doctor’s approaches will include looking at the physical, psychological and spiritual health of patients, as well as the impact of a person’s environment and social context. Our doctors seek to understand the entire picture of a patient’s disease.

Anthroposophic medical care in the Centre involves a range of therapies offered by allied health professionals with various specialisations.
